BE HAR BRAUN NER DBECK BY 6mg HMQL, m XMLQQ ATTORNEYS ROTARY PISTON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH EXTERNALLY CONTROLLED IGNITION BY MEANS OF A SPARK PLUG The present invention relates to a rotary piston internal combustion engine with applied or externally controlled ignition by means of a spark plug within an ignition pre-chamber, especially of trochoidal construction, essentially Consisting of a casing housing and of a polygonal piston rotating within the same, which slides along a multi-arched internal casing running or contact surface and over the orifice of a firing channel.
The requirements made heretofore of the spark plug as regards the pressures occurring in the engine, the completely satisfactory gas seal at all temperatures, the prevention of a glow ignition and the insensitivity of the insulator body of the ignition plug against abrupt temperature fluctuations were sufficient to assure a delayfree operating cycle of the engine. However, since with increasing power output of highly loaded engines and of the increasing thermal loads of the drive unit of an internal combustion engine connected therewith, especially of a rotary piston internal combustion engine, the hitherto made arrangement of the spark plug, for example, the known arrangement in which the spark plug firing channel is directed toward the center of the spark plug, is no longer adequate for and able to cope with the present-day requirements, it is the aim of the present invention to eliminate these disadvantages with simple means and in an excellent manner.
Accordingly, it is proposed according to the present invention that a straight line extending in a crossdirection to the casing housing perpendicularly to the longitudinal center plane of the spark plug intersects both the center longitudinal axis of the spark plug as also the center longitudinal axis of the firing channel in the ignition pre-chamber in front of the center electrode of the spark plug.
It is assured with this type of construction according to the present invention that the hot combustion gases do not impinge against the electrode so that a thermal value of the spark plug is assured that lies considerably below the values customary heretofore.
In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the firing channel arranged in the casing housing may form an angle of about 65 in the axial direction of the engine with respect to the line of its trochoidal running surface, as viewed in axial cross section including the longitudinal center axis of the firing channel.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the center longitudinal axes of the spark plug and the firing channeI-as viewed in the cross-direction to the casing housing-may be arranged to one another at an angle of inclination of about 50.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary piston internal combustion engine with external ignition by means of a spark plug which avoids by simple means the aforementioned shortcomings and drawbacks encountered heretofore.
Another object of the present invention resides in a rotary piston internal combustion engine with applied ignition using a spark plug, which completely satisfies all requirements as regards pressures, gas seal, prevention of glow ignition, etc., in high power output engines.
Still another object of the present invention resides in a rotary piston internal combustion engine of the type described above which assures relatively low thermal values of the spark plug.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for purposes of illustration only, one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view through a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction in accordance with the present invention, the plane of cross section of FIG. 1 containing the longitudinal axes of the spark plug and of the firing channel and being taken along line II of FIG. 2, and
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line IIII of FIG. 1.
Referring now to the two figures of the drawing, the rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction illustrated in this figure essentially consists of a conventional casing housing 1, of a polygonal piston 2 supported on an eccentric of an eccentric shaft (not shown) and of lateral housing parts of which only the lateral housing part 20 is shown in FIG. 1. The piston 2 which rotates within the casing housing 1 slides over an orifice or discharge aperture of a firing channel 3 arranged in the casing housing 1. This firing channel 3 whose center longitudinal axis forms an angle of about 65 with respect to the running or contact surface 4 of the casing housing 1 and an angle with respect to the center longitudinal axis of the spark plug 9, terminates in an ignition pre-chamber 5, in which also terminate a center electrode 6 and the bottom 7 of an insulating body 8 of the spark plug 9 screwed into the casing housing 1. The spark plug 9 extends through an aperture 21 in the lateral part 20 (or intermediate part of the multi-disk engine) at an inclination forming an angle of 50 with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the firing channel 3, is accessible through apertures in the lateral parts, possibly in case of a multi-disk type of construction, in the intermediate parts, and thus projects laterally into the casing through a lateral (intermediate) part 20 generally in the axial direction of the engine with a slight downward inclination as described above. The firing channel 3 which connects the spark plug center electrode 6 with the working chamber 10 is so arranged in relation to the spark plug 9 that the two center longitudinal axes intersect on a straight line 11 (FIG. 2) extending in the cross-direction to the casing housing 1, i.e., perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 1 and thus to the longitudinal center plane of the spark plug 9 and of the firing channel 3, in front of the center electrode 6 within the ignition pre-chamber 5 in order to prevent a direct impingement on the insulating body 8 and on the center electrode 6 by the hot combustion gases.
While we have shown and described only one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible of numerous changes and modifications as known to those skilled in the art and we therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein, but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are encompassed by the scope of the appended claims.
